Still demands saying.

Can you finally post a gamingonlinux link without that guy’s superfan trying to conduct an entire exposé?

120 guns per American (ie per capita) vs 26 guns per Swiss??

According to TFA:

Roughly 3-in-10 citizens in both Switzerland and the United States own guns

So the number of owners is similar, which is probably more meaningful than the absolute number of guns.

gosh i must be stupid i’ve never even heard of copability! the issue isn’t charlie and his behaviour. it’s the behaviour and statements of the people responding to that which is presently at question. you’re endorsing political violence and the withholding of empathy. you’re a good little disciple of Charlie.

So, normal people having a bad day. We must aggressively treat people having bad days, even if they don’t consent to treatment, because normies are a violent threat to public safety.

Less ironically, I don’t agree with your distinction. When people say that “mental issues” cause people to shoot up a school, I think they are talking about serious psychological disorders, not a transient state of mind that might happen to anyone. They are unconsciously looking for an “other” to blame.

So now you endorse his policies, when it suits you.

How quickly you retreat to sophistry. I said what I meant. Everyone can see it right there, you cannot twist it, no matter how you try. The vast majority of murders and other violent acts are committed by people who are not dealing with any mental disabilities. Contrarily, people with mental disabilities commit violence far less than the general population. When you said, “People with mental health issues shoot up schools,” you might have merely been speaking imprecisely, but then you doubled down on it. I suggest you do some research on the subject before you stigmatize mental illness again.

In 2024, years after his disbarment from practicing law, as well as his notoriety with gamers fading with the passage of time, Jack Thompson had appeared to have denounced his disdain for video games. On an interview with the My Perfect Console podcast, Thompson praised video games for helping out disabled people with their interactive nature.[50][51][52][53][54][55]

WELL AINT THAT SOME SHIT

We all knew it was performative.

Jack Thompson? Haven’t heard much since he got disbarred! What was the blog I used to always read about him on… Can’t recall! Wasn’t he actually beefing with them?

NO, people with mental health issues are less likely to commit violence than the general population. Violence is fully within the normal human gamut.

Gun bans won’t stop attacks like today. They’ll stop normal people from defending themselves, and that’s it.

Ahh, so it’s Charlie’s fault for not being armed on the stage and shooting the bad guy first. Got it. And that’s how you want to live. That’s how, after seeing a human being probably die in front of all of us in an act of cowardly violence, you think things should work. Awesome. Got it. Great.

Most molesters don’t molest children because they are pedophiles. That’s a fucking cartoon grasp of reality.

Hard disagree. We have plenty of gun regulation. Too much, in fact.

There are more important things than that you get to see an old man unhappy. In the grand scheme, it doesn’t matter compared to the ongoing global chaos and harm to humans.

Also, it turns out Trump was born in Kenya.

Sometimes, the right Steve dies. Eventually. After ruining everything.

dired-mode is as good as ever

Okay but Hardwar 2 when??

No. You can’t. None, or perhaps nearly none of us understand how a city functions. Millions of humans come together and form a functional unit that has behaviour and agency, that protects us and organizes us, and we have no fucking idea how it works, because it emerges in non-obvious ways from very simple human behaviours.

We are very much as ants, responding to signals that we don’t even directly perceive.

Your aside seems to suggest you think people voted the way they did because of lack of intelligence. That is a defense mechanism on your part. It’s a belief you hold not because of its predictive power, but because of your emotional needs.
